Early Press
Bonobos is 'crowdsourcing' the design of the dress shirts using TweetSwell, a program for conducting surveys on Twitter, to figure out what people want. This has provoked heated debates over things like whether there should be a placket and whether cuffs should have one button or two. Even men who aren't sure what a placket is ... seem to care whether or not their shirts have one.
